Chapter 700 I Want You to Marry Me

Brendan recalled once again and found it strange. Both women had the exact same face, but why were Charlene's eyes glistening with intelligence and scheming?

Was it because she was honored over the years that she became obsessed and incapable of becoming the person she was in the past?

Brendan's mind was a chaotic mess. He stopped himself from continuing to think about it with great effort. He shut his eyes to calm himself and opened his eyes again. "As for the favor from the fire, I've already paid it back with eight full years of my life. I saved your life once during that period. A life for a life, so I don’t owe you anything anymore."

He owed it to Deirdre, and he would never be able to repay it fully. He hoped that he could make it up to her bit by bit with this.

"I don't agree with that!" Charlene's beautiful face became distorted. "I won't!”

Brendan looked at her coldly. “It's up to you to agree with that, but I get to decide if I'm willing to do it. If you want to be with me and make Deirdre leave, I can tell you that the answer is no!"

The man spoke so resolutely that it made Charlene feel sad and angry. However, she knew how determined Brendan was when he made the remark.

Charlene bit her lower lip and pondered before she said, "I'm not asking you to leave Deirdre, but... you have to marry me! I want you to announce to the world that I, Charlene, am Brendan Brighthall's fiancee. Moreover, you're going to marry me legally!”

Brendan's pupils constricted abruptly. "Don't even think about it!”

"Don’t reject me in such a rush.” Charlene said casually, "I won't pressure you nor force you. However, the thing that you want will vanish with it similarly.”

"You!" Brendan's veins bulged up, and he glared at Charlene as if he was looking at a piece of trash. "Are you threatening me?"

"I'm not threatening you.” Charlene was afraid that Brendan would take her down with him as well. After all, Brendan was determined to acquire the information in her possession.

"I just want to discuss it with you. Brendan, I've been dating you for a long time, and I need proper recognition. However, I'm not going to ruin your relationship with Deirdre either. She can still have Kyran with her while I want Brendan to marry me."

Brendan's dark pupils turned still instantly as if he was pondering.

Charlene cracked a proud smile because she knew that Brendan would agree to her request. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Brendan did not refute just as she had expected. He said with cold eyes,’ Do you think that a photo and trivial information is enough to get me to marry you? If you want more, you're going to have to make an offer of equal value. I want a video recording with sound to ensure the person’s identity.”

It was not a difficult task for Charlene. She said, "I will give you what you want when you announce to the world that you're marrying me.”

Brendan did not speak. Instead, he turned around and left.

Charlene grabbed his hand and said, "Keep me company for a while more, will you? Is there nothing else between us other than a business deal, Brendan? Sit with me on the bed for a while.”

Brendan pulled away from her grip coldly and exposed her without showing any courtesy when he said, "I find it disgusting to touch you!"

After leaving, the sky was dim, as if it would rain heavily soon.

Brendan pulled a photo out of his pocket. He could see the person's face clearly from the dilapidated environment.

Hence, she was still alive.

Brendan felt delighted because he knew that he could still make it up to Deirdre at the very least. Still, he knew even better that he would need to pay a price for dealing with Charlene.

He sat in the car for a while before driving away. By the time he arrived at the mansion’s entrance, it was already raining cats and dogs.

The moment Brendan opened the door, Deirdre turned her head away from the balcony and expressed her joy. ‘You're home, Kyran!”
